Description
Want to increase your knowledge and skills in leadership and management?
Need an opportunity to network with other academic unit heads?
Want to promote a culture of sharing and support?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then take a break from the busy pace of your office and join your colleagues for a dynamic and engaging day of interactive and informative sessions designed to address and support various aspects of your role as a unit head. The Steering Committee has developed a wonderful agenda packed with a variety of engaging facilitators. We will also have time for informal discussions and the institute will culminate with a relaxing wine & cheese reception.
